SLS#9# Arrow Of Seduction

The Senator

Brielle's POV

" Are you sure about that?" Darien asked me as I called him to tell him that I was going to tell everyone about our secret relationship.

" Why?! You don't want me to tell them?" I asked him.

" I do, Babe. You drag things too much without knowing things properly." He said to me. I sighed.

" I have already invited all of them at my place tonight." I said to him.

" You didn't invite me, Babe." He said.

" I don't want my brothers get violent on you. I need to explain you first." I said to him.

" I was thinking about coming to see you late night. Can I do that?" He asked me and I rolled my eyes.

" Will you stop if I forbid you?" I asked him and he chuckled.

" I will not wake you up. I swear." He said.

" That's scares me if you don't wake me up." I said to him.

" You don't have to be scared, Babe. I am a very decent guy." He said and I rolled my eyes.

" I know actually how much of it you are, right?" I asked him and he laughed.

" Don't you have works back in your office? You had a meeting with the Vice President this morning. What happened in that?! Everything went good?" I asked him and he sighed.

" Let me tell you one secret thing, the Vice President and I are not in a good term. He doesn't like me at all." He said and I rolled my eyes.

" No sane person will hate you, Darien. Why will the Vice President hate you then?" I asked him.

" That's the point. He is insane." He said and I chuckled.

" He is not insane, Babe. You must have done something. Though I have doubt if you can do any mistakes but still revise your meetings with him. You will find it out." I said to him.

" There is nothing serious. Since I joined the party he always keeps trying to make things hard to me. I even think it's him who tried to attack us in Russia." He said and I sighed.

" Don't worry. Lizzy will find it out." I said to him.

" Who is Lizzy?" He asked me.

" She is my friend. She works in FBI. I told her to find it out since you refused to give me any clue. She will find out her own clues. She doesn't need anyone's help though." I said to him and he chuckled.

" I don't want to involve you in these matters." He said to me.

" I am already involved with you, Mr. Krendler. You can't keep me away from that." I said to him. He sighed deeply.

" Just be safe. Don't hurt yourself." He said.

" Mr. Krendler is worried about me?!! I am so touched." I said to him. I bet he rolled his eyes on the other side of the phone.

" No need to roll your eyes." I said to him and he chuckled.

" You no need to find out that person behind it." He said.

" Do you seriously suspect the Vice President?" I asked him.

" I was joking. He might not like me but he will not go that far for that. It will be a great mistake for him and his career. He is just one step away from being the president. He will not do a mistake now." He said.

" But our president is still alive and he can be elected once again." I said to him.

" After him." He said.

" How will you co-operate with him then if you have a sour relationship with him already?" I asked him.

" We will sort things out then. Anything for the party. If they want me to be there I will serve the people if they don't then I will quit. It depends on how people accept me. Until now I don't have any complain from my people or anyone else. So, I think I am doing good." He said and I chuckled.

" You are the best among them all. People love you. More than the president." I said to him.

" Only you adore me more than him. No one else, Babe." He said.

" Who told you that?!! I adore Mr. President more than you." I said.

" Babe!!" He said and I laughed.

" He is like my father to me." I said to him.

" I know that." He said.

" Better then. I gotta go. They must be arriving." I said to him.

" Ok, bye then." He said to me.

" Bye, take care." I said to him.

I hung up and turned to get a shock. As I found all the girls standing there looking at me like Sherlock Holmes. Lady detectives. I rolled my eyes.

" Who was that?" Enzy asked me.

" My boyfriend." I said to them and they rolled their eyes. Clearly didn't take me seriously.

" You and having a boyfriend?!! Pinch me, please?" Kelly said and Josie pinched her for real. " Ouch!!! I was joking." She said.

" Since when, Brie?" Enzy asked.

" A few days back." I accepted it.

" Who is the guy?" Josie asked me and I sighed.

" His name is Darien Krendler." I said to them and they looked at me like thunderstorms hit them badly.

" Like really?" Kelly reacted first.

" Yes, really." I said to her.

" This why you called Cameron and Roberto as well?" Josie asked me.

" Cameron is out of this agenda. But Roberto is definitely invited for this particular reason. I need to talk to him. I think he too doesn't have any serious feelings for me. I will just help him and set him free for his own story." I said to them.

They nodded and we went downstairs. I found everyone there on the dinner table. I sat in between Seb and Issy. The dinner was served but my throat was dried. I kept having water again and again.

" What's wrong? Everything ok?" Issy asked me keeping his hand on my forehead to check the temperature.

" I am fine. Have dinner. I made everything. There is your favourite dessert as well." I said to him pointing the tiramisu.

" This why everything is tasteless." He said and I rolled my eyes.

" Your taste buds have been spoiled." I said to him and he chuckled.

The dinner was done and everyone was chitchatting. I stood up and cleared my throat. Everyone looked at me.

" I ..uhhh... I hope you all have enjoyed the dinner." I said and looked at my nails. For the first time in my life I was damn nervous. " I... Ummm... I wanted to share something with all of you." I said.

" What I that?" Aunt Marcella said.

" Actually, it's been awhile I am watching that my friends are all settling down and having families. It pushed my mind a bit. I realized that I want someone in my life as well." I said to them.

" Ahhh!!! At last!!!" Issy said.

" Glad that you realized that." Uncle Shane said as he came to me and wrapped his arm around my shoulder. I gave him a side hug. He was always the father figure for me.

" Now do tell us, who the lucky man is?" Kelly's Mom Mrs. Quinlivan asked me and I sighed. I looked at Seb the biggest support of my life. He just nodded. I looked at my friends they cheered for me except Roberto. I knew it. And my grandparents were sitting there without any expression. I couldn't figure out what they were thinking about it.

" His name is Darien Krendler." I said and everyone looked at me weirdly. The room was frozen in a microsecond but I continued. " And he is Senator of New York." I completed my words and sighed deeply seeing their expression. Yeah, right. The senator.
